What could have prevented the financial crisis that has destroyed the banking system and plunged the world into a deep recession?
Tighter regulation? More prudent public spending? More women directors on the boards of leading banks and big companies?
Nope, apparently poetry is the key to improving business leaders' and company performance.
A workshop in London next month will aim to demonstrate how poetry "can connect logical thinking with inspirational thinking".
'Performance poet' David Adams says: "Poetry, which combines structured thinking with creativity, unlocks the creative mind and enables 'whole brain thinking' - a more powerful and complete way of thinking."
In the spirit of this workshop, Guru has penned his own poem, which he humbly presents to disciples now.

The UK is in recession and times are tough
HR staff are struggling under the weight of stuff
But why let that work get in your way?
Take some time out for half a day
To attend a poetry workshop to broaden your mind
Who knows what, at the end, you might find
But remember to take notes on what you did
As it's going to cost you forty-five quid.
